6. resting in the hammock
7. no lesson plans
8. lots of reading time
9. flowers
10. shaved ice
11. sprinklers, especially at dusk when the slant of the sun makes everything beautiful and the sunbeams through the water make it look like a fountain

What Am I Thinking? Or Am I Thinking?

It's a rhetorical question - PLEASE don't answer. The title has reference to my decision to start a new blog. Do I really want 2 blogs? Can I keep up with two blogs?

On the other hand there's so many things I'd like to write about besides just the books I read. Don't misunderstand - I really enjoy keeping a record of what I read, but I'd also like to write about life, love and video tapes! AND I'd really like to write a list. Okay, so that's what convinced me. I want to do a list! My daughters, my nieces (except C!) and even my sister have made lists. Other people groan about making lists, but I think it looks like fun.

Now that I've come to this big decision to have 2 blogs, I will start thinking about my list. It will probably be weeks in the making. In the meantime, I may post other things. We'll see.

P.S. I wish I could have a different profile picture for each of my blogs. Books for A Reader's Journal and oh, I don't know, a flower or tree or whatever for this blog. That would be nice, don't you think?
